Dear Nobles,
Shriners Hospitals for Children® has launched a new health and wellness program to highlight the importance of regular scoliosis screening and to position us as a leader in scoliosis care. The program encourages parents to make a spine check part of their annual back to school routine and to contact Shriners Hospitals for Children if their child needs our care.
Under the leadership of Amer Samdani, M.D., chief of surgery for Shriners Hospitals for Children — Philadelphia, a team of doctors, developers and parents joined forces to create a new app called SpineScreen to check for possible signs of scoliosis. This informative and easy to use app allows parents to perform a preliminary spine check on their child in the comfort of their own home. We encourage you to download SpineScreen for free on the App Store or Google Play and try it today.
Tomorrow, August 15, 2017, Dr. Samdani will officially kick off the campaign with a nationwide satellite media tour. Dr. Samdani will appear on television and radio shows across the country to educate the public about scoliosis, the importance of annual screenings and how SpineScreen can help detect possible signs of scoliosis.
Please click here for a confirmed interview schedule for Dr. Samdani.
Immediately following the satellite media tour, Dr. Samdani will also participate in a Facebook Live event at 1:30 p.m. EDT at facebook.com/ShrinersHospitalsforChildren/. The event will feature Dr. Samdani providing tips for early detection and other information about scoliosis. The event will conclude with a Q&A. We hope you join us for the event.
Please help us increase awareness about scoliosis by sharing the SpineScreen app and encouraging family and friends to tune in tomorrow for the Facebook Live event. For more information about this new program, please visit shrinershospitalsforchildren.org/scoliosis.
